Hotel Les Bories features an estate of 8 hectares (19.77 acres) of lush groves of olives, cypresses, and green oaks, as well as gardens filled with lavender and other aromatic flora. Amidst this greenery are many eye-catching stonework houses, mostly modernized but standing proudly with their heritage features intact. The hotel itself was built in 1967, yet these borie dry-stone houses are part of a community said to be thousands of years old. The largest cluster of these bories can be found near the hotel, in an open-air museum known as the Bories Village. Unlike the bories in the museum, however, the ancient stonework at Hotel Les Bories has been integrated beautifully and seamlessly into the establishment. You'll come across halls and rooms with ancient timbers and stones lining the ceiling and walls while enjoying comforts such as air-conditioning, blending the ancient and the modern.
 

Design and Architecture

By bringing together ancient stonework and modern architectural conventions, Hotel Les Bories has created a unique identity as a hotel that makes it stand out. Many guestrooms and suites are decorated in contemporary styles, featuring stylish and luxurious furniture and fixtures. Yet when you step outside to the patio or garden, you can see that these suites were set within a dry-stone borie. Some areas of the hotel that are distinctly modern are the spa and pool area, as these were constructed with current prevalent tastes in aesthetics in mind.

This balance between seclusion and convenience provides guests with plenty of opportunities to enjoy Luberon's incredible geography and vistas. Rent an electric bike and explore the scenic country roads, or go off-road mountain bike rental instead. If you're looking for something romantic, book a horse-drawn carriage in Mollégès, or a river cruise on the Rhone in Avignon.

Luberon is dotted with villages of dry-stone houses and troglodyte cave homes, some are said to date back around 2000 years. Old churches such as Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque provide a spiritual oasis, while castles such as Château de Gordes impress with their imposing and stalwart countenance.
